Hello all,
I'm trying to find a dececnt Backup Program for my system. I have a 160G Drive that I want to use a a backup drive. I need it to first, copy all my files from my 120G HD to it, then on a daily/weekly basis add, change or delete files accordingly (Not replace everything each time unless modified). I don't need/want it to back up the OS, just my data files. I've looked around but the solutions I have seen cost a pretty penny. Any ideas??

What OS? If it is windows 2k or XP, why don't you just use the software that is given to you? It should be located in Accessories/System Tools. This was a light version of Backup Exec and I have been using it for a few years now with no problems at all. For light jobs it is ok, for a corporate solution, you will need something much more robust.

It's XP Pro. And I think, even though I could be mistaken, that the Windows backup backs it up to a single file of some sort. I prefer to have it back up with the directory tree so if I need to replace just a couple of files/folders I can just grab them and go. Thanks for the fast response!!

It does back up to a single file, that is browsable like a directory tree using windows backup utility.

It works pretty damn well. Give it try, it can't hurt to play with it.

I played around with it a little last night. It's ok just not exactly what I am looking for. Right now I'm experimenting with "Second Copy 2000" which I just found since writing this topic. It seems to work out ok but there are some more tests I need to perform to make an accurate statement.
